We present the C++ program RelExt for Standard Model (SM) extensions that feature a Dark Matter (DM) candidate. The tool allows to efficiently scan the parameter spaces of these models to find parameter combinations that lead to relic…

We investigate the role of vector boson fusion (VBF) and associated production with an electroweak boson (V-AP) of beyond-the-Standard-Model Higgses at the LHC in probing CP violation in extended Higgs sectors. Resonant production of a new…

There are many extensions of the Standard Model with a dark matter (DM) candidate obtained via the freeze-out mechanism. It can happen that after all experimental and theoretical constraints are taken into account, all parameter points have…

We use the current $t\bar t$ experimental analysis to look for Dark Matter (DM) particles hidden in the final state. We present a phenomenological study where we successfully perform the reconstruction of a $t\bar{t}$ system in the presence…

We discuss two models which are part of a class providing a common explanation for lepton flavor universality violation in $b \to s l^+ l^- $ decays, the dark matter (DM) problem and the muon $(g-2)$ anomaly. The $B$ meson decays and the…

We use the associated production of top-quark pairs with a generic scalar boson at the LHC to explore the sensitivity of a large set of observables to the sign of the CP mixing angle, present in the coupling between the scalar boson and the…

In this paper we propose a new reconstruction method to explore the low mass region in the associated production of top-quark pairs ($t\bar{t}$) with a generic scalar boson ($\phi$) at the LHC. The new method of mass reconstruction shows an…

In this paper we explore CP discrimination in the associated production of top-quark pairs ($t\bar{t}$) with a generic scalar boson ($\phi$) at the LHC. We probe the CP-sensitivity of several observables for a varying scalar boson mass and…
